What is La Tale?
What is La Tale Gold? In fact, I myself did not even see this game coming at me until I saw the mmosite page with La Tale printed across it. That must mean it was a small company then... Well perhaps not. La Tale is currently being hosted by OGPlanet, the lead NA (US)Cabal server.
Looking into the matter futher; LaTale is created by the people who brought you MiR, MiRII, and A3; Some of the biggest mmos of the past (With some people still playing them as well no matter its age)
So let's cut to the chase. What is La Tale, the simplest way to describe it is a childhood memory of a sidescrolling game where you can walk left or right, perhaps even jump, and then attack with a button. Sounds simple, hell it sounds like maplestory mesos. However, reading the features of this game I slowly drooled upon seeing the aspects of PVP implemented into the game, Ahhh Joy!! In my opinion, that was what was missing in Maple Story Mesos's crusade, could this be Maple Story's downfall and the uprising of a whole new game? Read on, Play on, and decide for yourself!
The Experiance (CBT)
Ah. So the day finally comes to test out the game. I crack my knuckles and get ready to play. Standard procedures of registration (I already had my account with Cabal in OGplanet so it made it that much more quicker). I got the game quickly with a 1.5mbs connection on MMOsite (Yeah that's actaully pretty quick from what I recall)
So I enter the game. Ugh; obnoxious music. Too loud for my tastes and I hope to find the options button soon; however upon reaching the login screen there is none yet. I strive to create my character quickly and turn off the music... But I notice something.
I was creating the character and noticed how cute each figure was. Oh man that made me >.<; I even forgot the music was on. There's about 7 choices in each category of Hair,Eyes,Eye color, 4 skin tones, 4 clothing sets.
And now the hardest part; Class decision. Now; by the end of my evaluation I've created all four characters equally and brought them all to level 20, I must say; each were pretty unique. Each class will be described later on in the gameplay section.
